Mansfield considers asking voters to approve bonds for five capital improvement projects
Mansfield might ask voters in May to approve bonds for five capital improvement projects recommended by a committee of 27 residents, according to a news release from the city.
The bonds, if approved, would be used to build a center for a library, recreation, events, aquatics and fitness center, a baseball field, a community park in the southwest part of the city with upgrades to the Michael L Skinner sports complex and expansions to the Walnut Creek and Pond Branch trails.
A spokesman for the city said Mansfield will not know how much money they will be asking voters for until the city council calls for a bond election with specifics regarding costs.
The city council has been hearing from city staff since September on possible costs of the proposed projects, according to the release. Residents not on the committee had four chances to learn about the concepts and provide feedback before the committee made its final recommendations.
Mansfield’s city council has until Feb. 18 to call for the bond election.
Details on the concepts the committee recommended to the city council can be found at mansfieldtexas.gov/mycitymychoice.
